Minami Masato - The Tropics lp (Klimt)

$14.99

Japanese Acid Folk from 1971 with plenty of psych guitar... gatefold sleeve.

Klimt says"Born in Asagaya,
Tokyo on 3 March 1944, Japanese folk singer Masato Minami began his
musical career after spending a few years bumming around Mexico and the
US and taking in the burgeoning beatnik (and related drug) scene. While
in the US Minami saw one of Dylan's early performances and returned home
to Japan to start a band. After the release of two singles (in 1969 and
1970), 1971 saw the release of his debut LP, The Tropics. For
this opus Minami enlisted the considerable talents of guitarist Takashi
Mizutani (of Les Rallizes Denudes fame) and bassist Haroumi Hosono (of
Apryl Fool and Happy End) resulting in this incredibly rare example of
early Japanese acid folk. Featuring bonus track 'It Can't Be Over'."
